Shabana Azmi: At my parental home in Janki Kutir, playing Holi is a tradition started by my father (Kaifi Azmi) and now followed by my brother Baba. We play with organic dry colours. There will be family and friends from theatre and cinema. Lots of naach-gaana and khaana.

Irrfan Khan: This Holi I am far away from the madding crowd in the forests of Uttarakhand.

Honey Singh: This Holi I perform in Dubai for a crowd of 20,000 people. For the concert of mine, the gates are being flung open for families and children as well. Through this festival of colours and happiness, I want my fans to know my music is for everyone and for all occasions.

Pooja Bhatt: I will be in Rajasthan scouting for locations. I’ll play it by the ear.

Shaan: We’re all off to a friend’s farmhouse in Mandwa to celebrate Holi.

Shankar Mahadevan: A full gathering of family and close friends. No water. Just music. Super food, bhang, masti with the kids and a dedicated session of cards. Then I’ve to quickly pack and leave for Doha.
